Psalm 142

Psalm 142Amplified Bible (AMP)

Prayer for Help in Trouble.

A skillful song, or a didactic or reflective poem, of David; when he was in the cave. A Prayer.

142 I cry aloud with my voice to the Lord;I make supplication with my voice to the Lord.2 I pour out my complaint before Him;I declare my trouble before Him.3 When my spirit was overwhelmed and weak within me [wrapped in darkness],You knew my path.In the way where I walkThey have hidden a trap for me.4 Look to the right [the point of attack] and see;For there is no one who has regard for me [to act in my favor].Escape has failed me and I have nowhere to run;No one cares about my life.

5 I cried out to You, O Lord;I said, “You are my refuge,My portion in the land of the living.6 “Give attention to my cry,For I am brought very low;Rescue me from my persecutors,For they are stronger than I.7 “Bring my soul out of prison (adversity),So that I may give thanks and praise Your name;The righteous will surround me [in triumph],For You will look after me.”
